Christian Kilian, one of the child stars of our soon to be released independent film, Light, was interviewed by ABC News almost a year ago as part of a story on people who suffer from albinism and the tragedy that afflicts albinos in Africa, where they are killed because of a superstition about magical properties in their skin. Well, the show is finally going to air on ABC’s 20/20, tonight at 10pm, 9pm Central. Find more details on ABC’s website, and check your local listings for the episode you don’t want to miss! Light was written and directed by Marty Wisher.

Marty Explaining a Scene
Well, another very productive day of shooting down. Only a couple more scenes to go and we’ll be hitting the post-production hard. Only minor hitches today, including a little early morning carpet cleaning we had to work around. Excellent work from all of our teen stars, including the Wisher kids. We’ll pick up the rest of the scenes tomorrow. Enjoy the photos posted below:

Marty with her teen stars: Christian Kilian as Lucas & Danny Rawley as Jake
Well, we spent the better part of 8 hours on set in Jake’s Room on Thursday, October 16th. We managed to get half of scene 3 and almost all of scenes 14 & 21 completed. We even had a visit from an old friend – Caleb Williams, the star of Grill’s War, a Star Wars fan film trilogy.
Danny Rawley and Christian Kilian were fantastic as Jake & Lucas. Both did very well and took direction like professionals. And Teresa Cobb was spot-on as the mother of a teenage genius (wonder how she pulled that one off…)
One more day to finish and get pick-up shots and we’re set for that. Next up, either a Riley scene or the birth scene that starts the film. We added a some shots of the film work, as well as the cast & crew fooling around between takes. Making movies is hard work, but fun too! Light is written and directed by Marty Wisher.

Very full week.
The Chamber of Commerce event was so much fun and well received. The gang was awesome, of course.
Meanwhile, Light is under way. Most of the cast has been selected. One of the main character’s rooms has been created (much thanks to Paul & Teresa for making that happen).
Balancing everyone is going to be a challenge. Especially since one of the leads is constantly booked on out of town gigs. But what’s life without challenge.
The main character was just interviewed and had the opportunity to promote Starlight and our movie Light. It seems there is a great crisis going on in the albinism community. Angie, Christian’s mom, contacted me right after the interview to update me on everything.
I’m trying to reach the journalist and photographer so we can assist each other. Who knew that a month ago as we cast our lead (a teenage albino) that he would be called on and interviewed and that at the time when they need the attention we just happen to be filming Light. Too much to be a coincidence.

Starlight Studios will continue casting for the film Independent Sci-Fi film, “Light,” Tuesday, September 16, 2008 at 6pm. No nudity or sexual content.
We have a variety of roles, large and small that we are still trying to fill.
We are looking for adults and teens, as well as two female models (low line count) and some ethnic teens – Black, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Indonesian, etc… We very much want the high school setting of this film to be a VERY diverse population and even if you have no acting skills, we will need extras for background shots… Teens can be age 14-25, as long as they would not look too out of place in a high school setting. The primary adult roles tend to be in the late 30′s to early 40′s, but we are flexible on that as well.
ALL Interested models, actors and actresses should stop by Family of God church at 1315 Viscaya Parkway, Cape Coral, FL. Please arrive early to fill out audition forms.
